Alex,

Were the snow conditions as good as they look in the pics all the way from bottom to top? Looks nice and firm, not post-holing in mush up to your thighs.

Snow was very good before noon. At noon it turned to slash that was sliding down here and there - quite scary, especially on the east face that we used to descent.

Ok, thanks. Good beta. Yeah, that east face descent, where it crosses the avy path, is contemplative...
